Original 1st printing 20 x 29" concert poster for an all-star blues show featuring Big Mama Thornton with George "Harmonica" Smith, Hound Dog Taylor and the Houserockers and Big Joe Turner at appearing together at the Academy of Music in New York City on 11/16/1973. Designer unknown (whoever did the artwork was obviously heavily influenced by R. Crumb), medium-thin flat index stock poster is in excellent to near mint (B+ to B+/A-) condition; an ultra-light amount of handling/edge wear and a tiny scuff in the lower left corner, otherwise fine. REALLY neat-looking early-1970's blues poster from the legendary NYC concert venue.
